## Bio

Born in 1894 to a poor Serb family in western Bosnia, Princip was sent to Sarajevo at thirteen to study, where he joined Young Bosnia, a secret society seeking liberation from Austrian rule. He walked to Belgrade after being expelled for anti-Austrian activism, then tried to volunteer in the First Balkan War but was rejected as too weak. When Austria imposed martial law in Bosnia in 1913, Princip organized two others into a plot against the visiting heir to the Habsburg throne. The Black Hand, a Serbian secret society, supplied weapons and training. On 28 June 1914, he mortally wounded Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie with a pistol. Sentenced to twenty years because of his age, he died of tuberculosis in Terezín Fortress in 1918, his right arm already amputated, four years before his term ended.
